Suction hoses are flexible, yet reinforced pipes used in the suction side of a pumping system. They feature a strong inner lining and a reinforced outer structure. Water suction hoses can be found in various materials, diameters and lengths to suit a range of different applications.
The primary use of a reinforced suction hose is to guarantee the vacuum generated by the priming system collapses the hose, restricting the amount of flow through the water. It also helps prevent kinking, which can restrict flow and cause technical issues like pump cavitation.

Yes, suction hoses can be used to pump hot liquids to a certain extent. If you’re concerned about whether the product will suit your needs, check the temperature rating of your suction hose with our team before hiring.
Store a suction hose free of pressure points, out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dry area to help preserve the material and avoid kinks in the hose.
